Allowing the cable modem router to broadcast its WiFi network name (SSID) makes it easier to find your
network and connect to it. If you clear this check box, that creates a hidden network.

The name can be up to 32 characters long and it is case-sensitive. If you change the name, make sure
to write down the new name and keep it in a safe place.
8. Select or clear the Allow guests to see each other and access my local network check box.
To protect your privacy, this check box is cleared by default. That means your guests can use your
Internet connection but they cannot access computers or devices that are connected to your Orbi
network.

The WPA2 options use the newest standard for the strongest security. WPA2 is the default setting.
10. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved. The cable modem router sends the new settings to the satellite.
